This was in Florida a few weeks ago, I'm from thw midwest and had never been to the state before, I knew there were a ton of lizards around and people see them all the time but I never actually knew they were invasive species!
It was actually! This is in a little outlet at the front entrance to the Castillo De San Marcos. We went to Jacksonville, St. Augustine, and Orlando while we were down there and saw these guys running around in all 3 cities
I mean yeah it's not easy lol. I usually just cup my left hand, put it in front of them by about a foot or 2 and slowly approach, then snatch the base of their tail with my right hand.
